Despite a terrible start, Phil Mickelson fulfills his duty for young fans in Mexico City

Phil Mickelson is currently teeing off at the LIV Golf Mexico City. But well, things have so far not lined up too well for him. Regardless, he is continuing to make time for his fans.

Mickelson started his outing at Mexico City with an even par in the first round. He even carded a birdie on the second hole. But that was all for his first nine holes. He went on to card a bogey on the fourth hole and then continued with consecutive even pars, followed by a birdie on the tenth hole. But the moment it felt as if things might turn around, they did not.

Phil Mickelson ended up carding a double bogey on the 11th hole. He tried to compensate for it with a birdie on the 12th hole, but his last six holes were only a disappointing series of even pars.

Despite the disappointing finish, he was pictured signing caps and handing out pins to young fans at the Club de Golf Chapultepec. The official Instagram account of LIV Golf League shared a video of the same with the caption:

“Fan favorite @philmickelson handing out pins to the kids.”
